Just purchased an Ousterling Box and have put together a short video comparing it to the M Box….
M Box v Ousterling Box https://youtu.be/DkPcszZ7bEs I’ve bought both so got no affiliation either way. Hope you find it useful.

Very nice, thanks for the comparison/review.
For future readers, it's worth noting that this is back to the original M Box, rather than the vs 2.0 that's also been discussed in the thread. |

I ran across this thread last week. I went for my Okito box and couldn't find it. After reading some other threads I checked out Tom Ladshaw Magic. I just want to say his prices are great. Great communication (I placed my order during a snowstorm he was getting).He let me know when he could get out to ship the order. He is a really nice guy. Also I really like the M Box.
Still lurking after all these years.

T the solid box is the same size as the regular boxes, just like the solid box from most manufacturers. (It's also not a sucker box, which typically has a smaller opening, but is still the same size). It's sized so that the same lid would fit over either box, though the solid box does not come with an extra lid, which I do wish was possible to buy separately. It's also worth pointing out that the 1.0 and 2.0 versions are the same size, and the lids are interchangeable. Actually, I don't have it in front of me right now, so I'm only 95% sure that, but I'm pretty confident in it from memory. There's a small chance that the half-dollar solid box would fit inside the dollar-sized 2.0/1.0, but I (a) wouldn't assume that, (b) can't try since I don't have both sets and don't plan on buying it, and (c) would be pretty surprised, since I think the depths are wrong, and (d) it would defeat the purpose of the mechanism of the solid box to use a half-dollar sized coin while using the dollar box.

I only see the solid box offered for ~$40-50. The original M-Box is typically about $30-40 The M-Box 2.0 is $50-60. Perhaps different sellers have other prices, especially depending on where they're located or if they're a reseller. But each one of those three is labeled differently, and in particular I'm guessing the $40 one you're looking at is the 1.0 and the $80 is the 2.0, but that should be clearly marked from the product image/description. I've not seen two different versions of a solid box (either previously or looking again now) for widely different prices. More information would be useful. |

Apologies TOQ, Aliepress has two prices for the half dollar. I contacted the stores but have not heard back. I'm just wondering which solid box the 2.0 owners purchased? The prices are quite different.I assumed the more expensive one was the 2.0 but can't see that written anywhere?

Again, I think you are mixing things up.
There is an M-Box (original). There is an M-Box 2.0. There is a Solid Box. The solid box uses a similar feature to the M-Box 2.0, but there is only one solid box; there's no "not-2.0" version, and the solid box doesn't say 2.0 at all. "Which solid box did you buy" isn't a thing that makes sense if there's no choice to make, other than the "coin" size. Multiple prices for the half dollar m-box (original or 2.0) are because sometimes they offer with some extras - a gimmick, normal coin, etc. They're nice if you want them, but aren't required, and I haven't see any of the solid boxes offered with them, only the other boxes. So again, if you're saying that AliExpress has two prices for the half dollar (what?), it would really help to have a link to reference so I can see specifically what products you're referring to. |

I received my M Box 2.0 today and as has been previously mentioned the quality is fantastic. However, the video link I was sent doesn't play and when I contacted the seller they sent me a random Okito box video.
Is it possible for someone able to PM me to help me know how this works? I can supply photos to prove I actually have this. Even some clues on what I should be looking for? I am new to coin magic, but I can't see how this is different, part of its ingenuity I suppose. Thank you!

I sent a PM to discuss the box that was received. I feel like that starts to go to exposure.

Of course, thank you for the PM I have replied.

Hi all,
i've just discovered the M-BOX from TCC Magic ... I'm the only one thinking that's a copy of my work ???? first at all, I've created the MKS Boston-S in 2017, allowing to hide shell under the box, with a special design allowing to show the bad side.. https://magikoins.com/en/categorie-produ......on-s-en/ And the external lateral groove allowing an easier reversal of any of my okito box since 2009 ?? https://magikoins.com/en/categorie-produ......kito-en/ really strange... nope ? |

Hi magikoins!
I confess this is the first time I'm seeing those products of yours. I had no idea you'd made them, but I absolutely believe that you came up with them before Jimmy. I can't say if it was independent invention or a copy, but I'd think they should at least reference your work in some way - which they do not. If I'd realized I might not have bought it from them. As far as the lateral groove, I've also seen that one on boxes for many years (Craig Ousterling has it, too, and the one on the M-Box is more pattern than deep to get a grip, as yours seems to be). But the resemblance is still high. Pretty disappointing, but not too surprising. You should reach out to them and see what they say. Let us know what you find out! |

Hi Toq,
First of all, thank you for your message. Since 2009, all the okito boxes that I make have a lateral groove allowing easier turning by "pushing" the lid, no need to use your fingers to turn the box. Regarding the Boston-S, I invented and created this box in 2017. The bottom of the box has a groove and a particular design allowing it to accommodate a shell, and not a coin. This also makes it possible to show the box from all angles, and even to give it to the examination. When I see the M-BOX, I just feel like my ideas have been copied without agreement. Few hours ago, I 've contacted TCC and wait their feedback on this, and also kickstarter to inform them that my products were being copied thru their plaform. I will post any information regarding this story as soon as possible. thank you for your support. Thierry |

Hi Magikoins,
Absolutely. I realize you're saying you've been making them for a long time, and I believe you. I'd just never seen it before, and wish I had. Assuming it's roughly the same, it's a brilliant design! It does certainly seem like it's very similar, but without knowing Jimmy's side, I can't say. It could have been developed independently. But it could likewise be that it was copied. Good luck! |
